Hi I noticed this new green sprout superficially covered by the top soil layer when I was watering my mini sekka hinoki today (got it 1 week ago). What can it be and should I remove it to prevent it from competing for water and nutrients with my hinoki?
Thank you.
Today I bought a 3" trunk diameter Dwarf Blue Scots Pine nursery tree. This will be a long term project and it is my first Scots.
I suspect this is grafted but I have yet to see an obvious union mark. I did a tiny bit of digging around the trunk and found field soil with some fine feeder...
